Does this exist...

Ball and _Slot_ as opposed to the usual Ball and Socket.
Low load. Hobby size... maybe 1/4" to 1/2" ball.

Dovetail exists, But have never seen ball and slot. Yes, spherical
cutters for soft metals exist,so you can do the slot part.So depending
on choice of materials, yes, that can be made in the average machine
shop.

Brings up a few thoughts...
Dovetail material suggests just using a bolt-head instead of a ball.
I found I couldn't accurately drill my stainless adapter bar (for the
barby), so I took it to a machine shop. It's supposed to be ready
today, I'll ask the machinist about spherical cutting.

Probably the easiest way to get it is to have a friendly local machinist
make it for you.
One pass with an end mill to allow the next pass with a ball-end mill to
be made and it's done as long as the slot will be wide enough to let
your whatever-it-is into the channel.
Another way, if you're just looking to retain the whatever-it-is might
be to use some of that channel they use for shelving:

Looks like a standard "T" bolt slot to me ! Like on lathe or machine
beds but with a radiused bottom.

Commonly referred to as a "stove bolt". (not commonly, That IS what it
is called)
[/quote:5d360cfaa3]
TRY: Carriage bolt (coach bolt)
Has a domed or countersunk head, and the shank is topped by a short
square section under the head. The square section grips into the part
being fixed (typically wood), preventing the bolt from turning when the
nut is tightened. A rib neck carriage bolt has several longitudinal ribs
instead of the square section, to grip into a metal part being fixed.
NOT: The original usage of the term stovebolt applied to a bolt with a
slotted head that fastened into a nut. This particular bolt design was
often used as a fastener on wood-burning stoves that were fabricated out
of metal sheets, very common in the first half of the 20th century.
Therefore, any slotted-head bolt that looked similar to the bolts in
wood-burning stoves became referred to as a stovebolt.

[/quote:d07a909ee9]
Robert,
It was created with Acrobat v7.1.0, by scanning directly into
Acrobat... "make PDF from Scanner".
Given all your various symptoms, I think you have something else wrong
other than Acrobat.
Do you have Acrobat, or do you really have Adobe Reader?
Try looking at installed programs... do you have more than one program
that might be trying to read PDF's?

I'd almost forgotten about that beautifully clever piece of work!
Thanks for the jolt back. :-)
The originals were called "Thomson bushings", but I think the generic
name, now, is "linear ball bearing". |

Thanks! I think that will be a better off-the-shelf solution than my
